I usually tell people the same, this is a decision I will have to live with. I am happy with Proton and also happy to support their growth, hopefully it will go well for a long time.

From the other services I tried, Filen and Ente deserve an honorable mention. I was close to just go Mail Plus + Filen + Ente. But as soon as you do Proton Mail + VPN, you then go with Proton Unlimited and that is what makes the most sense financially.

A linux phone is on my list, Jolla or similar. One battle at a time.

I was strongly considering their plans by the time he tweeted that, made me do a 180 degrees turn and look other places for private mail services and cloud drive… After that event, he did write on the comments of a Reddit post that he’s not a Trump supporter and was distancing himself from right wing politics.

I made peace with it. Was he writing the truth or just trying to throw some water into the fire, idk. I have currently the unlimited plan and I’m happy, in the end of the day I want to support companies that are European and provide services like Proton and Tuta.

Gotta start with what you have 🤷

I love Tuta as well, they are great. But not being able to use Tuta with thunderbird was a deal breaker for me. Proton is Swiss btw.

I mean, it the end it’s all up to personal preferences. I’m strongly considering to delete Bluesky due to the latest controversy. But would you care to elaborate?

Wdym? 😭

Oh yeah, wait! Law should be shaped after Meta’s way of doing business, so unfair.

As I mentioned in other comments, I didn’t buy a new phone to degoogle. I’m sure there are more people on the same boat. And this is a degoogle group.

I didn't like the statements regarding Trump either, but he deleted it and made some comment/post on reddit distancing himself from Trump and right wing politics. So I made peace with that, but yeah, people won't forget.

Great list! I have a few questions and recommendations.

Look into comaps for a maps alternative. There was some controversy around organic maps, I don't know all the details. But comaps showed up as a fork and it is really good.

I'm not the biggest fan of infomaniak and their drive is not E2EE. I would recommend looking into filen.io and proton drive.

Proton pass was already an European app, and a pretty awesome one. Why did you ditch it?

And does tutamail work with Thunderbird now? Or is it only Posteo you're using with it?

Yeah, Linux phones might not be ready yet and it will mean compromises and workarounds. Will be following closely the development of not Google not Apple phones, before pulling the trigger.

Probably not, but I really like Notesnook for its simplicity and just organize notes in folders. Anytype is awesome for more complex stuff, I usually use it for work, kanban boards and such.

YouTube player app. Open source, no ads, no login, just import your subscriptions and playlists and you're ready to go.

Please no… I hope it can be disabled.

I have had the same phone for the past 3 years, so the degoogle process started a couple of years after I got it.

Fuck that, next step is linux 🚀

I have not tried other clients. I am quite happy with Voyager, but maybe I will give the others a shot :)

Wow, thenewoil website is great. Thanks for sharing.

I didn’t know about sink it, will have a look! I currently use hydra to access Reddit on iOS.
